The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to approve a $2.25 million settlement for an LAPD officer who sued the city and police department, alleging she endured gender discrimination and sexual harassment by other members of the bomb squad.

Patricia Fuller, a K9 handler with the bomb detection unit, filed her lawsuit in January 2006. She claimed that between 2000 and 2005, she was subjected to offensive and discriminatory behavior, including sexual jokes, racial epithets and having cigar smoke blown in her face.

Fuller also said she was excluded from training sessions and meetings.

As a result, she “continues to suffer humiliation, embarrassment, anxiety, mental anguish and emotional distress,” according to her court papers.

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved the settlement in a closed-door meeting.

Last week, a Los Angeles jury awarded $3.6 million to a former member of the bomb detection canine unit. Donald Bender said he was retaliated against after he complained about the alleged discriminatory and harassing acts directed toward Fuller.
